Forum Discussion
Battlefield 2042 launched to widespread criticism, as evidenced by its low ratings. Fundamental issues like hit registration, movement mechanics, and map design were broadly condemned, with reviews and videos readily available online. The Portal mode, touted as a revolutionary customizable experience where players could “play their way,” fell short when XP farming prompted restrictions on XP and unlocks, frustrating many. These problems, alongside subpar maps (which were later reworked) and technical flaws, led to a sharp decline in player base and the games price dropping instantly.
To ensure Battlefield 6’s success, DICE should heed community input over input from new developers or non-fan streamers. BF2042’s bid to satisfy every FPS audience ultimately backfired. Scrapping Battle Royale experiments and refocusing on the series’ core roots would be a welcome return.
If you’re worried about wasting money, wait to see the reviews a couple weeks after launch.
